It is found in the S.—T.—1860+-X. The sale of the Plantation Bitters is without precedent in the history of the world. There is nosecret in the matter. They are at once the most speedy, strengthening health restorer ever discovered. It requires but.a single trial to understand this. Their purity can always be relied upon.

They are especially recommended to clergy- men, public speakers, and persons of literary bfibits and sedentary life, who require free di- gestion, a relish for food, and clear mental faculties. . Delicate females and weak persons are cer- tain to find in these Bitters what they have so long looked for. They purify, strengthen ani They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water vigorate. and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours, They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.

They cure Diarrhea, Cholera and Cholera Morbus. f They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache. They are the best Bitters in the world. They make the weak man strong, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. The following startling and emphatic state- ments can be seen at our office: Letter from Rev. E.

The Florida Captures Twelve Vessels—The Latter Vessel now at Bermuda—Her Of- ficers and Crew Feted by the Authorities. New York, July 29.—The brig John Free- man has arrived irom Bermuda. On the 22d instan e pirate Florida was there coaling sud caulking, and did not expect to leave for two or three days. A whaling schooner of New Bedford arrived on the 2d, with con- tiderable oil, and would ship it home bya Britisi: versel. A Kritith schconer bound from Bermuda brings Captain Coffin and crew of the brig W. B. Nasb, captured by the Florida. Captain Coflin reports that he sailed from New York, July 3d, with a cargo of lard aud staves. On July sth, latitude forty, Jongitude seventy, 3 Pp. ML, met a steamer to the eastward, standing Wertward; passed us about five miles off; she had four smokestacks, and was 2 side-wheel boat. The Ericsson soon after made anothersteamer to the eastward, which came along and passed us. Socn after she bore up for us ard came alongside with the stars and stripes flying. At 10.45 hailed us to heave to, us they wished to send a boat aboard, and as the boat boarded us they hoisted the Confederat» fing, and the of- ficers cf the boat pronounced us prisoners to the Confederate flag. He ordered myself and purt of the crew to take part of our clothes and ™my papers and go on board the s'eamer, which proved tobethe Fiorida. My charteand instru- Ments were confiscated, and the brig set on fire. The Florida then steered for a schooner in sight, which she found to be abandoned. She was a. whaling schooner belonging to Prvuvineetown, and was set cu fire and crew lauded at Ber- mnda on the !6th of July. The Flo ’s officers have been lionized by the author: ©, and she was saluted by the Fort in the harbor of St. Georges. She is armed with six broadside guns and two pivots, and is not so fast as has been represented, and her machinery is out of repair. Sne does notsteam over vight and a half knots. The discipline on beard is bad. A number of blockade runners are also at Kermuda, The Florida had trans- ferred a portion of her crew, and also 2 portien of her valuable spoils, to the Robert E.

Hatirax, July 29.—The brig Devonshire, with Bermuda dates to the 2ist of July, ar- rived to-day. The privateer Florida arrived at Bermuda on the lith, to repair the damage to her machinery, and take in the hoat. She anchored at first on the outside, and en the following day was permitted to enter the har- bor. She saluted the British flag, and the sa- Jute was returned. A considerable interchange ot civilities took place between the officers of the Florida and those on shore. The papers teem with communications lau- datory of the craft, officers and the crew. Since advices of the 17th the Florida has destroyed twelve other vessels. The name of only one is given, the brig William B. Nash, of Cherrifield, bound from New York to Marseilles with a cargo of lard, mostly on French account, She was captured on the &th, in lat. 40 deg.. long. 70 deg. After the best of her stores were re- moved to fifteen, eleven, ten, to the Florida, she was burned. The Floridarun within fifty miles ot New York, it is said in esearch of the Ericsson, which she chased some time, but the Ericsson escaped in a dense fog. She shortly afterward destroyed the Nash.

Papets from the contederates were received upto July 27th. The Fayetteville-Obseryer insists that «Dr. Morris, Presidegt of the telegraph company, should dismiss the enterprising reporter who invented the story of General Lee taking forty thousand prisoners.” Does the Observer wish tostarve out the telegraph by confining it to the truth! “Dr. John H. Davis died in Richmond last Friaay. «Gold is worth $11 in Richmond. “Seventy-seven Yankee prisoners arrived yesterday morning from Culpeper, and twenty from Wytheville. “The Mayor of Savannah has issued a@proc- ‘amation, requesting all residents of the city to organize for home defense, and all managers of s‘ores, work-shops, or other places of busi- ness, to close them at two o’clock on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for the purpose of drill.

A WAR IN GREECE. Interesting Extract from a Letter from that ‘ Country. Boston, July 29 —Dr. King, in a letter to the Traveller, from Athens, Greece, dated July 4, says: “I am now in the midst ofa civil war. Par- ty spirit and a love of rule have at length divi- ded soldiers and citizens into two hostile bands, and in the streets and squares of the city blood had been flowing tor twodays. On July 1and 2 a battle was incessantly raging, and the sound of guns and cannon told us the work of death ‘was going on. “Yesterday, through the intervention of the Ministers of the three protecting Powers, France, England and Russia, a truce of forty hours was proclaimed, which willend to-night or to-morrow morning. and the above men- tioned Ministers huve proclaimed that if.fight- ing should commence during the time of truce, they will leave the place and go on board their ships, and invite all under their protection to go also, and cut off all communication from a country from whieh true patriotism seems to be forever exiled.” ‘ Dr. King does not appear to entertaian any special apprehension in regard to his own sate- ty. The Draft in Lockport and Bufialo. Eurrato, July 29—The drait at Lockport was completed yesterday. Although trouble ‘was apprehended, none occurred. Itis under- stood that the draft in this city will commence next week. The Eighth Massachusetts Regiment. Boston, July 29.—The Sth Massachusetts regiment arrived home te-day.

The following is a copy of the official letters from Jeflerson Davis and his Adjutant Gener- al which have been heretofere roterred ty as having been captured during Gen. Lee's inva- sion of Maryland. They disclose that it was a partof the strategy of Gen. Lee to assemble a force xt Culpeper for an attack on Washing- tou, while the Army of the Potomac should be olowing his footsteps in Pennsylvania. Ba avis could find no troops to execute the pro- griunme, and it Was never atiempted. Leiter from the Rebel Adjutant General, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S Orvice, Richmond, Jue 2, 1:63.—General: While with the Pres— ident last evening I received your letter of the vid instant, After reading it tothe Presideat he wus embarrassed to understand that nart of it which refers to the pian of assembling an army at Culpeper Court-house ander Gen. eauregard. This is the first intimation thar he has had that such a plan Was ever in con- templation, and taking: H things into consider- ation, he cannot see how it can byany Ppossibil- ity be carried into effect. You will doubtless learn before this reaches you that the enemy has again assembled in force on the Peninsula, estimated between 20,000 and 30,C00 men, from 6,060 to 10,000 of whom are reported to be in the vicinity ot White House, and the remainder at Yorktown. It is impos- sible to say whether the estimated number is correct, as the several accounts vary, and are not deemed altogether trustworthy; but the es- timate, making due allowance ior errors. is quite near enough to saticfy the most incredu- lcus that he is in this vicinity in sufficient force in cavelry, artulery and infantry to do much barm, whether his purpose be fo make a de- monstration on Richmond or to confine himself to raids in breaking your commnnications and devastating thecountry. Hisefforts in the last case may prove more successful than in the first, if we may judge by what took place at Henover only two days ago, when about 1,000 or 1,200 of his cavalry suddenly appeared there sud did some execution in breaking the rail- road and burning a bridge, some buildings, public stores,&c. It is important that this raid took place only about two days after Gen. Corse’s brigade had left there for Gordonsville. Had it remained at Hanover Junction it is rea- sonable to suppose that mostof the enemy’s cavalry would have been either destroyed or captured, and the property sayed from injury. Every effort is being made here to be pre- pared for the enemy at all points, but we must look chiefly to the protection of the capital. In dcing this we may be obliged to hazard some other points. You can easily estimate our strength, and I suggest for your consideration whether in this state of things you might not be able to spare a portion of your force to pro- - tect your line of communication against ate tempted raids by the enemy. Very respectiully, your obedient servant, . COOPER, Adjutant General. Gen. R. E. Lex, Commanding Arwy Northern Virginia. Letter from Get. Jefferson Davis. RicuMond, June 28, 1863.—General:—Yours of the 23d was Teceived this evening, and I | hasten to reply to the point presented in rela- tion to the furees om the coasts of South Caro- iina and Georgia. The hopes indulged as to our operations at the time which would intervene patween the distharge of the enemy’s trained troops and ihe substitution for them by others have been disappointed by the very error against which it was sought by warning to guard. Grant reavhed the river, got reinforcements, made entrenchments, and Gen. Johnsten continues to call for reinforcements, though his firat requisition was mere than filled by withdraw- ing troops trom Gens. Beauregard and Bragg. Gen. Bragg is threatened with attack, has fall- en back to his entrenched position at Tulla- boma, and cailed on Buckner for aid. Gen, Beauregard says that no troops haye been withdrawn by the enemy trom his front since those returned to Newbern, and that his whole force is necessary to cever his line. This being in answer to a proposition to follow a movement cfthe enemy, said to be to the west, with all his disposable force, pointing him at the same time to the yital importance of hold- ing the Mississippi, and communicating the fear that Vicksburg would fall unless John- ston was strougly and promptly rsinforced. D.H. hill bas a small force, part of which has been brought here. Clingman’s brigade is near Wilmington, Colquith’s at Kingston, Martin’s (memipal) on the :aiiroad at Weldon, and C. ‘ock’s, Ransom’s, and Jenkins’ haye been brought here; the two last temporarily from the defense of Petersburg and the country thereabouts. Wise’s brigade is, as you left it, engaged in the cefenee cf Richmoud, and servingin the country to the rast of the city. The enemy have been repulsed in large force at the White House, with indications of an advance on Rickmond. ® are organizing companies for home duties, and the spirit of resistance is in- crensing. C 's brigade, in accordance with your orders, has been leit at Hanover June- tion. All the artiNery, I am informed, was taken 2way, and the single regiment of infan- try which constituted the guard for the bridges proved unequal tothe duty, as you have no doubt learned. Reinforcements were ordered to go up, butsome delay occurred, and they arrived too late to save the bridge or the brave Fuard which had unsuccessfully defended it. he Yankees, reported to be three regiments of cavalry, returned from the Central Road in the direction of Hanover. (old town,) and no- thing has been heard ot them since. It was stated that Gen. H. F. Lee was cap- tured at the house of Mr. Wickham, but I trust it will proye to be one of the many startling Tumors which the news-mongers invent. The advance of your army increases our want for cavalry on the north and east of the city, but, except one regiment rrom North Carolina, I do not know ofany which we can expect soon to be available tous. In yours of the 20th you eay: “lf any of the brigades that I have left behind for the protection of Richmond can, in your opinion, be spared, I should like them to be sent eel? rae has a effort with me to answer the clamor to have stopped or recalled to protect the cess pene railroad communicating with your army. Corse’s brig- ade has gone,and Wise’s is the only left to ou. Cook’s was in North Carolina, and avis’ brigade was ‘sent to complete Heth’s Givision, in place of Cook’s, and Ransom’sand Jenkins’ conetitute the defences of the south side as far as Weldon, and are relied on for service elsewhere from Wilmington to Rich- mond. General Ely is positivethat theenemy intend to attack here, and his scouts bring intelligence which, it I believe it, would render no more anxiety for the city than atany former time, I do not believe that the Yankees have such force as is stated, but they have enough to ren- der it necessary to keep some troops within reach, and some at Petersburg, atleast until Suifolk is truly evacuated. Do not understand me as balancing accounts in the matter ot brigades. Ionly repeat that I have not any to send you, and enough to form an army to threaten if not capture Washington, &s soon as it is uncovered by Hooker’s army. My purpose was toshow you that the force here and in North Carolina is very small and Imay add thatthe brigades are claimed as properly of their command. Our information as tothe enemy’s intention may be more full and trustworthy hereafter. It is now materially greater than when you were here.
